    Corks & Consequences: Managing Alcohol During Midlife

    Has alcohol been affecting you differently lately? When you have more than a couple drinks, do you feel like you were hit by a bus? Is it keeping you from reaching your goals? Are you more irritable after drinking? Us too but there are reasons why. We are discussing why consuming alcohol during perimenopause and menopause is different and how our hormones and body composition affect our ability to metabolize it. Some days you just want to have those glasses of bubbles, but pay for it later. We are chatting about our refined relationships with alcohol and why sometimes we still give in to the temptation. https://www.instagram.com/bubbles_and_breakdowns And remember, after every breakdown, don't forget the bubbles!

    Manifesting the Partner You Deserve

    Manifestation is often dismissed as "wishful thinking," but in this episode, we strip away the fluff. We’re looking at manifestation through the lens of psychological readiness and energetic alignment. We explore the hard truth: you don’t manifest what you want; you manifest what you believe you deserve. This episode is a roadmap for clearing the mental clutter of the past to make space for a high-value partnership. https://www.instagram.com/bubbles_and_breakdowns And remember, after every breakdown, don't forget the bubbles!

    Self Love: Becoming Your Own Best Friend

    The power of positive self-talk and self-love is more than just a trend; it is a physiological rewiring. By shifting your internal dialogue, you move from a state of chronic stress and defense to a state of growth, resilience, and emotional stability. Standing up for ourselves starts with how we talk to ourselves, that little voice that either says we can or we can’t achieve what we want.  https://www.instagram.com/bubbles_and_breakdowns And remember, after every breakdown, don't forget the bubbles!

    Happy Galentine’s: The Importance of Female Friendships

    While Valentine’s Day focuses on romantic love, Galentine’s Day (celebrated on February 13th) has evolved into a cultural moment for honoring the "platonic soulmates" in our lives. This episode explores why female friendships aren't just a social luxury; they are a necessity. We move beyond the brunch aesthetics to discuss the deep, gritty, and transformative power of women showing up for women. https://www.instagram.com/bubbles_and_breakdowns And remember, after every breakdown, don't forget the bubbles!

    Speaking Your Love Language

    In the spirit of the season of love, we are kicking off February with how to understand your love language and what you need to give and receive what your heart and soul needs. The concept of Love Languages comes from relationship counselor Dr. Gary Chapman. It describes the different ways people express love and feel loved. Understanding your love language and those of people close to you, can significantly improve: communication, intimacy, and emotional satisfaction in relationships. Today we are sharing some important details about these five love languages, how they show up and how to communicate what you need in order to feel loved and cared for.
